Mexico boss' explicit heckle a bit of fun - Gordon

England winger Anthony Gordon has described being sworn at by Mexico boss Javier Aguirre during their World Cup match as "just a bit of fun" and a "compliment." The incident occurred during a first-half hydration break when Aguirre shouted an explicit remark to Gordon near the touchline, prompting both to laugh. Gordon, who recently moved from Newcastle United to Barcelona, said he remembered the moment and took it as a compliment after running the full-back down the line. The match, which England won 3-2 in the last 16 at the Azteca Stadium, featured several viral moments including Harry Kane's post-match interview after losing his voice and John Stones pretending to be injured. Jude Bellingham scored twice to put England 2-0 up before Mexico pulled goals back, including a penalty from Raul Jimenez. Aguirre, who has since left his post and been replaced by Rafael Marquez, was described by Gordon as "a good guy" who spoke to him and Bellingham throughout the game.
